Certified Local Trainers and Online Tutors
Creating new spaces for collective learning and political engagement
In developing a participatory model of blended learning – “Education for Change”, the GLU Online Academy started in 2021 to build a global team of certified local trainers and online tutors (GTTT). This was followed by the development of Regional Teams of Trainers (RTT) in Africa and Latin America. As of May 2023, the GLU Online Academy has certified 87 trainers in 31 countries.
The GLU Online Academy is working closely with its certified trainers in consolidating its participatory model of blended learning. Each trainer builds study circles of trade unionists and activists, who study together online and meet face-to-face in localised workshops. These have already reached hundreds of trade unionists and activists in countries of the local trainers.

A Political Project of Popular Education
The development of the GTTT, which took place around the “Just and Green: Labour’s Ecological Question” online course, gave rise to a political project of popular education on labour and environment, seeking to contribute to fundamental social, political and ecological transformations.
